Just bought the Schick razor with 4 blades (I recommend it)

[private_ryan]

much nicer shave than the Gillete's Mach 3. No need to go a second at all.

[Richardo]

1. How much are THOSE refills? I can't bring myself to pay for the 3-blades

at $7+ for three...

I like the shave, but that's just too much. :shrug:

[private_ryan]

2. don't know but more or less the same as Gillete

it's a big ripoff but we have no choice. Eventually their prices will match.

[frylock]

3. i'm holding out for the razor with 10 blades.

[Robb]

4. Me too.

I've been the victim of "early adopter syndrome" before. Fool me once, uh... something. :)

[TrogL]

5. FOUR blades?

Two was plenty. I can barely tell the difference between two and three.

What does FOUR gain you?

This is a hoax, right?

[private_ryan]

8. nope not a hoax

definitely a closer shave. I can tell by touching the face and all I needed is one round.

6. i LOVE the Mach3

no shaving cream. close shave and FAST. and the blade LASTS (for me anyway) i'm still on the first and I have a heavy beard (and shave as seldom as possible)

[private_ryan]

7. no shaving cream?

damn, lucky bastard :). That's what I hate about shaving, have to wash my face again after taking a shower. I almost bought an electric one read from many people that it's not the same close shave.

[nostamj]

13. with the Mach3 i got from the shower to the sink

run some hot water for rinsing, and shave... bang bang.

i couldn't believe it. and no foam needed. even DRY it does a hell of a job in a pinch!

9. My Hubby Loves It

it's lite and the design vs Mach III is better

[7th_Sephiroth]

10. i like my mach 3

i participate in product surveys, and gilette sent me a free mach 3 for my birthday

[Bronco69]

11. I hated the Mach 3 so I don't know what I'd do with

4 blades. I went back to using 2 blades. I get a closer more even shave. I have a goatee so 2 blades makes it easier to shape it. :-)

[scubadude]

12. I love mine.

Got it for my birthday. The faster the shave, the better!

[GregW]

14. Just 'how much' better is it than my disposable Safeway specials?

So what if I go over the same place six times ... it takes me a whole 90 seconds longer in the shower, and saves my 80% of the cost.

[terrya]

15. Is it better than my Gillette Sensor?

I'm not giving that up if I don't have to.

[the_boxer_]

19. I'm happy with the Sensor too...but I'm looking for something...

for a closer shave. My skin is really sensitive and normally I have to wait one day between shaves.

[rucky]

16. Insert clever one-liner here

that hasn't already been used

[nuxvomica]

17. I'm partial to the Schick something-or-other

I don't know what it's called cuz the packaging is gone. It's a disposable with 3 blades, a lubricant strip, and a charcoal-grey-and-turquoise handle. The turquoise part is for better gripping. I'm only on my second one and they seem to last for months. I hope they still make them. They are significantly better than the Mach3, which would cut me every once in a while.

18. but, is it turbo?

didn't one of the Daily Show 'correspondents' do a piece on razors?

'but is it turbo'?
